Preconditions to open up relations with Turkey?

Turkey is proposing four preconditions to Armenia, which include resolving the Nagorn-Karabakh issue.
The first precondition is "to ensure progress in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict". In essence, they want the return of the liberated Nagorno-Karabakh territories to Azerbaijan.
The second precondition is the "creation of a committee historians to study the events that took place in the beginning of the past century." The committee would comprise of Armenian, Turkish, Swiss, and American historians. This is a very bad thing; they want to bury the issue of the Genocide with this "committee".
The third and fourth preconditions concern Serzh Sargsyan's visit to Turkey. The third precondition is that these must be signed my October 12th, and the fourth precondition is that the Armenian president must visit Turkey. Only after all these preconditions have been met will Turkey even consider opening up the borders and trade.

I consider this an insult to Armenia and I urge the president to reject these preconditions.
